The culprit was not caught, though it was later learned Quirinus Quirrell broke into the vault acting under orders from Lord Voldemort. Although he was unsuccessful in obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, the break-in shocked the wizarding world because it was practically unheard of for Gringotts to be robbed. Later that very same day after Hagrid and Harry left the Alley, someone, apparently a very powerful wizard, broke into the vault. Albus Dumbledore sent Rubeus Hagrid to retrieve it while the latter was escorting Harry Potter to Diagon Alley in order to buy his school supplies. The vault, one of the higher-security ones, held a small grubby bag, inside of which was the Philosopher's Stone.

On 29 November 1926, Gringotts was put on lockdown with protective enchantments cast. In the process, Eleazar and the student escaped the vault and Gringotts. They engaged in a duel which destroyed the Pensieve and transformed it into a giant knight which protected them. He killed the goblin which let them in and demanded answers from Eleazar and the student. Ranrok discovered they had opened the vault and entered it. Through exploration, the student found a Pensieve inside it. The goblin on the front desk was surprised and took them to vault twelve with instructions to lock them inside it. In 1890, the key was given to Eleazar Fig and his student which led to unidentified ruins where the student unlocked a private entrance to Gringotts. They left behind a path, including a key which served as a Portkey, which only those with the ability to detect ancient magic could follow. Shortly after it opened, Percival Rackham and Charles Rookwood commissioned vault twelve which they protected with ancient magic. In 1865, the Ministry decided to put full control of Gringotts back in goblin hands.

The currency exchanged by Muggles was later returned to circulation in the Muggle world by goblins. In addition to storing money and valuables for wizards and witches, one could go there to exchange Muggle money for wizarding money, which appeared to not be very difficult, as shown when Hermione Granger's parents did so while paying for her school supplies. Its main offices were located around the North Side of Diagon Alley in London, England. It was founded by a goblin named Gringott in 1474.
